A three day weekend has passed and not one bit of sewing and only a minimal of stitching in the LAST week have I accomplished! See..I only stitched ONE fence post...in a week! LOL!!!
I have no idea why?? Maybe I can blame it on the rain??? It's been raining every single day for a week...not that, flooding, damaging rain, but that afternoon rain that just makes ya want to sit and have a glass of wine and enjoy it, rain. We have!! We've also watched some good movies: Taken3, Tracers, St. Vincent and The Wedding Ringer....all I would recommend btw. (We still have Paddington to watch. But Ninja Warriers starts tonight...and this is my time to pay the DH back for watching Lifetime movies with me! Ha!Ha! I actually don't mind. Those "Ninjas" are amazing!)
And today just found me playing with my blog. I wanted to clean up my sidebar. I just keep adding things and all of a sudden the darn thing is a mile long. I moved my labels to the end of my posts. I created those new follower tabs over there on the side. (Arg!! That took hours...until I figured out a shortcut! Whew! Also, thank you Lorna , Christine and Kelly for your email responses.) I also changed my header. Time for something new. What ya think??? (I mean it needed Jackson, right?!)I also like to follow all you guys by my sidebar. Haven't found another way I like as much yet.
Anyhoo, I've enjoyed seeing the quilty things you all are doing and hope to catch up soon! Tomorrow I'm off for some fabric shopping after school, at the store I shop at in the next town. I have a 25% coupon annndddd they are having a 30% ALL bolt fabric!! I need some backing material. I bet this is going to be the exact therapy needed to get me ready for summer sewing! (smiles!!) I close, off to get Tuesday Archives ready....RAINBOWS is our theme...I think it's going to be a fun linky this week!
The blog updates look great! I really like the header--I need to make some changes on mine. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header with little Jackson peering up at us Val!

ReplyDeleteDarling Jackson, enjoying his new fame? I love your weekend face too! Great new header. Sometimes we all need a lift. I change the header photo on mine with the seasons. Tell us more about that interesting quilt on the right.
ReplyDeleteI love your view and notice you change your header with the seasons. (Love that!) Here's the link to my Ol Happy Day Quilt...or as you referred to it....that interesting quilt on the right. http://myplvl.blogspot.com/2013/10/oh-happy-day-bloggers-quilt-festival.html

ReplyDeleteSometimes you do have to stop and do a bit of clean up. I really like the new header and streamlined side bar. I need to redo my header in he near future.
